    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I need the little plastic piece on the choke plunger, for I am missing one. I haven't found anywhere to buy one and was wondering if any of you have an extra one laying around, or even possibly an extra circlip too.

see attached pic!
 
I've got a bazillion of those little clips -- I lost a couple when dealing with some VM carbs a while back and ended up ordering a bag of 'em from McMaster-Carr. Faster and cheaper than ordering from Suzuki.

Assuming you're in the USA, PM your address and I'll throw several in an envelope and mail 'em to you in the morning. Just promise you'll pass on a favor for someone else someday.

I don't have any of the plastic whatchamacallits, though.
 
pm sent bwringer

Anybody have those plastic dealies or know if the clip by itself will be enough to lift the choke plunger?
 
The clip might lift it, but the barrel helps assure that it gets pushed closed, too. :-k

Man I have looked for those "spools" (what i call them for lack of a better word and thats what they look like) forever. A while back, i ran across a site that had them, in ALUMINUM! But since, i cant remember where the hell it was i saw them. Probably the same place i saw the Aluminum cam end plugs...heh.
 
Tell ya what tho, PM ME your address, i have a couple from a few spare carb bodies laying around i will pull off. They arent the greatest, they are kinda brittle (hence me looking for them to begin with) but they should work, just be carefull. If someone on the board had access to a mill or the like, they could prolly make a decent amount of spare pocket cash making these things in aluminum. Same with the cam end plugs.
 
Clips mailed this morning. You should get them Monday or Tuesday, I think.

Hopefully, Homeland Security isn't monitoring the mails for teensy metric e-clips.

You should be able to whomp up a workable substitute for the spool shaped pieces with two plastic washers and a bit of tubing. Maybe 50 cents' worth of materials from your local hardware shoppe.

I guarantee you won't find those clips at the corner store, though.
 
thanks a ton guys! I really really appreciate it. excited to see how much easier starting will be with all four cylinders on choke
